“To repair and upgrade this tunnel, the environmental review for Gateway’s Hudson Tunnel Project is now done, but we still need to invest in the actual construction, to which the State of New Jersey has already committed significant resources. That’s why I’m glad bipartisan groups in the Senate and the House Problem Solvers Caucus have come to consensus on an infrastructure package, which will ensure critical projects like Gateway can finally move forward. Now, it’s time to get it done. We can’t let this bipartisan, bicameral infrastructure package get derailed,” Gottheimer said.

Congressman Josh Gottheimer joined local North Jersey labor leaders and officials to highlight how urgently the region needs infrastructure investment to fix our bridges, tunnels, and roads.

“It is imperative that we work together to get our tax policy right and cut taxes for hard-working Americans as we continue to fight this pandemic,” Gottheimer said in a letter to Janet Yellen. “Given the level of need in this country, we should be trying to encourage charitable giving as much as possible to help those that need additional help.”

"Today, we saw a violent mob attack and occupy the United States Capitol. They did not come to peacefully exercise their right to freedom of speech and assembly. They used improvised explosives, smashed windows, broke down doors, violently fought against, and injured, our law enforcement officers, and tore down the American flag. All of this was done in an attempt to overturn an election and those involved in today's attacks should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Their attempt to obstruct democracy was foiled.
